The crisp yet piercing cheers instantly shattered the tranquility of the auditorium, spreading towards the reader and fan camp on the other side.

This action immediately ignited the dissatisfaction of readers and fans.

The readers who were originally looking down at the novel and whispering about the plot looked up, their faces showing impatience.

One of the middle-aged men, wearing glasses and a plaid shirt, spoke first, trying to remain polite, and reminded the female fans:

"Could you please be a little quieter? This is the annual meeting venue, and everyone is waiting for the event to start."

As soon as he finished speaking, a girl stood up from the female fan group.

She wore layers upon layers of Lolita dresses, the skirts billowing like umbrellas, her face covered in thick white powder, her lipstick painted bright red, and her eye makeup so exaggerated it almost obscured her original eyebrows and eyes.

She then put her hands on her hips and retorted sharply:

"What's it to you? Do you own this auditorium? We can shout whenever we want, it's none of your business!"

"We're not trying to manage you, it's just that your noise is bothering us!" The man frowned immediately, his tone becoming increasingly displeased.

"This is the annual meeting of Endpoint Novels, a venue for authors and readers, not a personal concert for you celebrities. Please consider others!"

"Exactly! They have no manners at all; their values ​​have completely followed their looks!"

Another boy next to him chimed in, his tone full of disdain:

"They make a ruckus just because there are many of them, without considering the occasion."

Nearly 70% of the fans at the scene were female, which shows how crazy girls can be when they're chasing celebrities.

Upon hearing this, the Lolita girl's face showed even more disdain. She scoffed and raised her voice, shouting:

"How about that? Our Shuo Shuo is handsome, a hundred times better and more handsome than you fat, middle-aged authors! That's an indisputable fact! You're just jealous, so stand up straight and stop your whining!"

Who are you calling a fat otaku?

"What's so great about Zhao Shuo? He's just a celebrity who makes a living off his looks."

"Great authors earn their living through their talent, which is much more respectable than what he does!"

"......."

The male readers were instantly enraged and began to retort, while the female fans were not to be outdone, standing up one by one and shouting at the other side.

The two sides were arguing fiercely, their sharp words and angry shouts creating chaos in the auditorium.

Just as the argument was about to escalate, with some people even ready to charge forward and start a fierce duel, the staff responsible for maintaining order finally rushed over.

Four or five staff members split into two groups, standing between the two camps, one trying to keep the emotionally agitated fans at bay while the other loudly advising them:

"Everyone, calm down! Stop making noise! ​​The annual meeting is about to start, please maintain order!"

"......"

Only after the staff's strong persuasion and pulling were the emotions of the fans on both sides barely suppressed.

The female fans reluctantly returned to their seats, but still glared angrily at the people opposite them; the male readers also turned away with a cold snort, but did not continue arguing.

The auditorium was temporarily calmed down, but the air was still thick with tension, and a single spark could ignite another conflict.
